This award marks the third major award for the Plasma bag in the same year by a recognized national publication, the first two being a Backpackers Editors' Choice award in March and an Outside Magazine Gear of the Year award in April.

As an integral component in the Marmot Plasma bag, Insotect Flow is an evolution in sleeping bag construction; combining the presence of vertical thermal channels (VTCs) with Insotect's proprietary FlowGatesâ„¢. Insotect Flow's vertical thermal channels distribute heat more readily from head to toe compared to traditional side-to-side horizontal baffles. Heat can now effectively travel the entire length of the channel alongside the body, bringing warmth throughout. Vertical baffle construction also allows the gear design to more closely reflect the contours of the user, taking on a more comfort forming shape which in turn keeps the insulated comfort closer to the body. Another significant benefit with Insotect Flow's vertical orientation is the need for fewer total baffles. Fewer baffles mean less material and less material translates directly into lighter gear.
